Fine Arts Association One-Act Festival features works of Christopher Durang

WILLOUGHBY, Ohio -- Willoughby's Fine Arts Association, located on the campus of
Andrews Osborne Academy at 38660 Mentor Ave., presents its 17th
annual One-Act Festival, with opening night set for Friday, April 19. Subsequent
performances take place April 20, 26 and 27 and May 3 and 4. All shows begin at
7:30 p.m. in the Corning Auditorium.

Tickets are $20. Advance tickets can be purchased online or
by calling 440-951-7500. When available, tickets can also be purchased at the
door. The performance is rated "adult" due to strong language and mature
content.

Ann Hedger, creator of the One-Act Festival, directs the
production. This year, the cast and crew tackle "Durang/Durang," a collection
of six short parodies by Christopher Durang. The award-winning playwright is
best known for satirical works that explore sensitive issues like the church,
relationships, homosexuality and child abuse.

Durang also enjoys reworking American classics. Tennessee
Williams' "The Glass Menagerie" and Sam Shepard's "A Lie of the Mind" each
receive the Durang treatment at the one-act showcase.

Each Friday after the one acts, cast and crew will gather at
downtown Willoughby's Burgers-n-Beer, 4027 Erie St. Theater patrons will enjoy
the opportunity to chat with the talented performers and will earn a 20-percent
discount when they present a ticket stub from that evening's "Durang/Durang"
show.
